This morning during a momentary lapse of reason, I threw away a game.
Black to move
I played
40...Bxh2?? and was mated.
A couple of days ago, in a game that I won, I missed not one, but two forced checkmates in two moves.
White to move
30.Be4+ did not throw away the decisive advantage, but did extend the distance to mate. After
30...Kb8 31.d7 Bxe4 32.d8Q+ Kxb7, I had a second opportunity to play a simple mate in two.
White to move
The game continued
33.Rc7+ Kb6 34.Rxf7+ Black resigns.
Later that same day, I found a mate in four after my opponent threw away a winning position with
28.Ng6??Black to move
Last night, just before bed, I managed to find a forced mate in six in a three minute game after my opponent played
31.Rcc7Black to move
I have not given any of the checkmate sequences, leaving them for the reader to find.
